Imagine: Being a Dauntless musician and Eric loving you for it.

      "Focus initiate!" You snapped, walking past the ex-Candor boy, whose knife kept missing the mark.

He threw it again but it landed a foot short of the target. He looked like he'd much rather be somewhere else.

"It's not that hard, put some effort into it," you were trying to be patient, but this particular boy was the most irritating of the bunch.

"If you're so good, why don't you show us?" He chided.

"He's right, why don't you show us Y/N?" Eric smirked, knowing well that you were the best in your class when it came to knife throwing.

You went up to the table to pick up a few knives, and took no time to throw them, hitting the centre of the target every time at an impressive speed.

The initiates stood dumbfounded, and Eric wore an amused expression on his face, "If she can do it, so can you. Get back to work!"

That evening, you stood by the window of yours and Eric's shared apartment, playing a tune that you had composed yourself on your violin.

You had loved music since you were a child, and it was the best therapy after a stressful day of training initiates.

Eric looked up from his book with a smile on his face. This was one of his favourite things about you, you had two sides to your personality; the feared trainer, who had no problem with putting initiates in their place, and the musician, who could create music to soothe even the most broken souls.

He approached you from behind and gently wrapped his arms around you.

After playing a few more chords, you put the violin down, and settled back against his chest, watching the sunset through the window.

"Beautiful," he whispered.

"It really is, isn't it?" You smiled, looking back at him.

"I was talking about you," he gestured towards your faint reflection in the window.

You shook your head and chuckled, before turning to give him a quick kiss, "I love you."

"I love you too."
